About Me

My photo
I Graduated from San Jose State University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, concentrating in Photography. My interest in the arts began when I was a child, but really took hold when I enrolled in a class on traditional black and white photography and darkroom printing. I fell in love with the magic of light and shadows on film, and their sudden appearance as a visible image in a tray of chemicals under the dim orange lights of the darkroom. I also enjoy using digital imagery in my artwork, it has it's place, but I really like the hands-on approach that traditional (or "old fashioned") photography allows. While my art focuses mainly around traditional fine art photography, I also explore mediums like drawing and painting, jewelry, mixed-media, collage, stencil art, and book making. A common theme among my works is the element of fantasy; whether in a sweet, nostalgic fairy tale kind of way, or taking on the grimmer side of things. I seek to portray the kind of thoughtful details, symbolism, and timeless dramatic flair that create narratives in your head and will keep you looking.
